How to Wear Bright Jeans?

Cameron Diaz

What are you supposed to wear with colored jeans? I want to know how I can pull it off.
—Sandra, Miami

Style Spy Says: Berry

Well just take a look at sunny Miss Cameron Diaz here. You notice that she pairs her ocean-hued pants with something fresh, but not overwhelming: a neutral, basic tee.
"You should keep your top and shoes a solid color," veteran stylist Mahjuba advises. (When it comes to simple white, you can go casual or more formal, depending on the event, Mahjuba adds.)

As for the jeans themselves, a good fit is more important than ever. Don't even think of, as stylist Kalyn Johnson puts it, "channeling your inner Carrie Bradshaw" without making absolutely sure that your jeans are cut to flatter. After all, nothing turns your butt into a homing beacon faster than a neon color. "Check out the offerings from Citizens of Humanity, Bebe, Rocawear, and Rock and Republic," Johnson suggests.

Also: Cameron may be wearing flip flops with her cazh ensemble, but your shoes need not be boring just because your pants are exciting. "Jimmy Choo and Prada have beautiful patent leather pumps with incredible colors," Mahjuba points out. "Or, for lower end, try Nine West."

And that's it. No need to over-accessorize—unless you need a fabulous pair of sunglasses to combat your new dazzle.

    3. I have purple skinny jeans and absolutely adore them! I wear them with patterned shirts (striped tank, heart petterned short sleeved) but I thought they looked okay...but this article tells me I'm wrong what do you all think?
